I bought the frame in '98, it was supposedly a 96 AA but I have never been sure. Anyone know?
It had been painted with yellow line paint, so the finish is bare aluminuim now (and for the last 10 years) and the decals are what the LBS had at the time.
Forks were all I could afford at the time, and I have never changed them The rest of the parts were whatever I could get, but I upgraded to V's and a lovely set of 94 XTR hubs on mavic rims in about 99. The bars, saddle, grips and pedals were all bike test parts from when I was writing IIRC.
I've just realised looking at these pics that I have my saddle in a very strange position, it's comfortable to ride though, although I really ought to get a new chain!!
It's just about ready for a little updating - the Bombers I always wanted but could never afford, and a new rear mech to replace the slighty wonky one in the pic. I might even try the saddle a little flatter.
